POLICE MAKE A MISTAKE.
A Woman of Good Character Arrested
as Woman of the Town.

A Woman of Good Character Arrested
as Woman of the Town.
LONDON, July Sin the House of Com
mons to-day an animated discussion took
place over the conduct of the police in ar
resting young woman named Cass, who is
of pure repute, as an improper character.
The debate resulted in the defeat of the
government by vote of l53 to l4S. The
criticisms of the members were directed less
against the police authorities than against
Mr.. Mathews, home secretary, who was ac-
cused of shielding the officials. A number
of Liberal UnionistS voted with the majori-
ty. 1t is expected that the defeat of the
government will lead to the resignation of
Mr. Mathews.
After the division in the House of Com
mons tonight on the motion relating to the
woman Cass, the Ministers met in a private
room, and it was afterward rumored that
Mr.. Mathews would resign. Messrs. Reed,
James, Hoard, johnson and Tyler Con
servatives) supported the motion. Twenty
supporters of the government
did not vote because they understood that
the question before the House was the de-
Tense of Magistrate Newton's conduct, of
which they disapproved. Ii they had been
informed as to the actual issue they would
have voted against the motion, which is now

A DESERVED REBUKE.
LONDON, July 8. 5 A. M.-The Daily
Telegraph, commenting on the result of
last nights division in the House of Com
mons, say it was less of a defeat of the
government than deserved rebuke to Mr..
Mathews.
The Post says: "Nothing could have been
more unfortunate than the way in which
Mr. Mathews dealt with the subject, and
the failure of the government to realize the
importance of the issue raised. The result
is a most damaging defeat, which the exer-
else of the modicum of common sense would
have prevented"
The DaHy Ne,Cs says: Magistrate New
ton is obviously the culprit, but Mr..
Mathews has himself to thank. His example
should be a wholesome warning against
giving preference to ones party rather
than to justice"
The Standard says: ''The government
have themselves to thank for their damaging
defeat Mr. Matthews of course was pri
marily responsible, but his colleagues, and
especially Mr. Smith, must share the blame,
1t was the duty of the government to see
that right prevailed, and for neglecting that
duty they have been brought to a SHARP
| reconing."
The Times says: "The government have
| to thank Mr. Matthews deficiency in tac
and knowledge of the world for their de
feat. His replies displayed his singular in
capacity to grasp the true nature Of TIL,
| affair."

CLAIMS OF THE M0RM0NS.
GIST OF THE LAWS REPORTED TO
THE CONVENTION.

Bigamy and Polygamy Declared Mis-
dem eanors in the New Constitution
Fine and Imprisonment Provided as
Punishment for the Offenses-The
Theory of the Friends of the Move
ment.
SALT LAKE CITY, July 5.-The most i'm
portant step yet taken in the Mormon Con-
stitutional Convention was made this morn
ing when the appropriate committees re-
ported the following sections:
Article IA, section Il. Bigamy and polyg
amy being considered incompatible with a
republican form of government, each of
them is hereby forbidden and declared a
misdemeanor. Any person who shall vio-
late this section shall, on conviction thereof,
be punished by a fine of not more than
81 900 and by imprisonment for a term
of not less than six months or more than
three years, in the discretion of the court
This section shall be construed as operative
without the aid of legislation. Ofenses
prohibited by this section shall not he barred
by any statute of limitation within three
years after the committing of the offense,
nor power of pardon extend there until such
pardon shall have been approved by the
President of the United States.
CONGRESS GIVEN POWER.
The provisions to article l6 on amend
ments provided that section l2 of article Is
shall not be amended revised, or in any way
changed until any amendment, revision or
change as proposed there shall, in addition
to the requirements of the provisions of this
article, be reported to the Congress of the
United States, and shall be by Congress ap-
proved and ratified and such approval and
ratification be proclaimed by the President
of the United States, and if not so ratified
and proclaimed said section shall remain
perpetual.
THE THEORY.
The theory of the friends of the move
ment is that all the government compre=
hends and implies is concessions Of some
popular rights and privileges; that this
question belongs to local instead of the ma
| tional government; that it is political, not
religious and that the government cannot
treat with or make an agreement with
religious bodies: that polygamy has already
been pronounced an otfenSe against the law,
and these provisions make no new offense
but trecognize something already established
ed This matter has been the chief point of
private discussion among the delegation and
is the real gist of the whole political ques-
| tion.
